I asked about Nienna because originally the list in post # 68 included Nessa, but not Nienna, and I wondered how dancing on the green, green grass of home would merit a citation but weeping upon Ezellohar in order to help The Two Trees come forth did not, as well as weeping upon the ruined ground of Ezellohar in order to clear away the defilement of Ungoliant. To say nothing of the lesson of endurance and hope, and of course pity, as narfforc said more eloquently than I.

But I see that the man poet edited his list last night, so that original cause for query has been removed.
